Toptal is known for having a strict screening process and for letting freelancers keep their full earnings, which sounds almost too good from a freelancer's perspective. But they are still a business with real costs, so the money has to come from somewhere. The most common explanation is that they charge clients a premium, but the exact numbers are not always clear. Does anyone here know in detail how their pricing structure works on the client side, and do you think that model is actually sustainable compared to traditional percentage-based platforms?
 
If you watch closely you will discover that they are charging the client to have access to the market pool of freelancers. Another way they make money is that they have patron who is funding their business to keep moving smoothly. The freelancer also pay annual fee to access the platform
